Il Tridente Positano: Reviews & Ratings

We read an article about 3 yrs ago about this in Hemispheres United magazine and tore it out and said some day We are going there! Well- we did last week and it was everything we hoped for. Food was incredible, staff so friendly and views that will take your breath away. I love that the tourist can’t see you or bother you taking photos while you eat as they are not allowed up unless you have a reservation. Thank you so much! Also the dinnerware the food is served on is all hand painted and love the mis-matched table!!

Il Tridente was stunning! We came here 2 separate evenings on our trip, once for drinks and appertivo on their patio and the next night for dinner reservations. Must book reservations 2 weeks prior at midnight Positano time! Be ready, they go quick because their hotel guests get first access. I’m so glad we came and would recommend to anyone wanting a dinner/drink and a view!

We went here in October 2025 and had an incredible experience. We made a same day wait list request and were able to get a table that night luckily! The service was top tier throughout the entire evening. It was super romantic with the view over the coast and the live dinner music. The food was also melt-in-your-mouth good.

This restaurant is well worth the effort it takes to get a reservation if you aren’t staying at the hotel - every bite of food we had was amazing - especially the gnocchi with scallops and the sea bass, the view was perfect, and the service was friendly but not at all intrusive. Wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion!

It was a beautiful experience from the stunning views, excellent food and service, it was definitely an experience worth the little extra price. The whole staff was so accommodating, we didn’t have reservations and they still fit us in with a table on the terrace with a beautiful view. Definitely worth trying!!

Some of the best service we received in all of Italy!!! They’re so attentive, the restaurant is very nice, fancy, and clean. Delicious food and bread, we got the chicken and lemon fettuccine pasta. It was so so so good! One of our better meals from Florence to Venice! Definitely recommend to go. We didn’t have reservation and they still allowed us to sit after 20 minute wait. Was definitely worth it!!!!

Best place on our stop to Postitano. Great views, food and service! Get ready for an uphill hike, we were gassed! But it was well worth it!

My husband and I had drinks and dinner here and it was amazing! One of most expensive meals of our trip but once in a lifetime views! One of my favorite cocktails I ever had also. We got the whole fish and it was delicious. Everything we ate was incredible. Definitely a fancier restaurant but worth it for a nice night!

Nestled along the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, Il Tridente Positano is a culinary gem that perfectly captures the spirit of coastal Italy. Located at Viale Pasitea, 140, this restaurant offers more than just a meal—it delivers an immersive experience defined by stunning panoramic views, impeccable service, and exquisite cuisine.

One of the standout features of Il Tridente is its exclusivity. With a strict reservation policy that limits access to the terrace, guests enjoy a sense of privacy often rare in bustling tourist destinations. As Nancy Frye highlights, dining here feels like a privileged escape from the crowds, enhanced by intricately hand-painted dinnerware and charming mismatched tables that add to the authentic, artisanal ambiance.

The menu is a celebration of local flavors and Mediterranean freshness. Dishes like the gnocchi paired with scallops and the perfectly cooked sea bass showcase a refined mastery of Italian culinary traditions. Each bite tells a story of craftsmanship and passion, supported by carefully sourced seasonal ingredients. The food melts on the tongue, inviting diners to savor every mouthful amid the tranquil coastal setting.

The atmosphere at Il Tridente balances romance and liveliness seamlessly. Kelly Hutchison’s account of live dinner music paired with the spectacular view illustrates how this restaurant caters to intimate moments and special occasions alike. The attentive, yet unobtrusive service further elevates the experience, ensuring guests feel both cared for and free to enjoy the evening at their own pace.

For those planning to visit, perseverance pays off. Reservations fill quickly, often requiring booking weeks in advance, especially for non-hotel guests. Yet, as Fabio Scotto Diluzio’s story reveals, the staff’s warm hospitality can sometimes make room even for last-minute guests, making every effort to accommodate and impress.

In summary, Il Tridente Positano is more than a restaurant; it is a destination where culinary art meets natural beauty. Whether you're sipping an aperitivo on the patio or indulging in a multi-course dinner, the breathtaking vistas, extraordinary food, and heartfelt service converge to create an unforgettable dining experience on Italy’s stunning coastline.
